> Hope this post goes through. Have been put on 30 mg. of remeron for anxiety, and have been on it for a little over a week. The biggest problem in the sedating effect it leaves with me up until the middle part of the day. Will this goes away? I have problemn taking meds because of the side effects. Was on paxil, then on serzone, but didn't like the weight gain, sexual dysfunction, etc. It seems like my heart races more than usual since on this and didn't know if this was just something I would have to tolerate until I become adjusted to the med. Any help would be appreciated. JoAnn
Perhaps your doctor will let you increase the doeseage--with this drug, paradoxically, the sedation seems to disappear somewhat as you increase the dose. As for your heartrate, you might mention that to your doctor--I can't remember what neurotransmitters Remeron acts on, but if it includes norepinephrine, that could be the cause of it, and it probably won't disappear; you'll have to get used to it. When I was on reboxetine, one of the disconcerting side-effects was an increased heart-rate, due to the effect on NE.
